	Preparing for Prison (Do or Die)
		Today, prison is still very much a closed world, and while within the past two decades TV cameras have occasionally been able to show a very limited view of life behind bars, they rarely capture anything more than that which the authorities wish them to see.
		Prison Receptions, the entry point into any jail (unless you go straight to the punishment block - the segregation unit), have changed a lot since the days when you were very likely to be met with a beating, but they are still inevitably an unpleasant experience.
		Prisoners are having to spend more time locked in their cells than for many years, but you should not be 'banged up' for more than 23 hours at a time.

		As of 2003, the United States prison population is the world's largest in absolute numbers according to available statistics.
		The argument for privatization stresses cost reduction, whereas the arguments against it focus on standards of care, and the question of whether a market economy for prisons might not also lead to a market demand for prisoners (that is, a strong lobby for ever-tougher sentencing to satisfy the need for cheap labor).
		Prisons may outsource medical care to private companies such as Correctional Medical Services, which, according to Hylton's research, try to minimize the amount of care given to prisoners in order to maximize profits.

		The latest police investigation into Whitemoor should be seen in the context of substantially increased staff brutality throughout the dispersal system and the vicious disempowerment of long term prisoners generally over the last 15 years or so especially.
		The fact is that it's always been prisoners themselves who have highlighted and challenged the unlawful behavior of prison staff, never the POA or anyone else involved in prisons in an official capacity.
		The prosecution of racist prison staff at Whitemoor is extremely unlikely and, as usual, it will be down to prisoners themselves to pursue their own legal actions and try to bring to public attention what the prison authorities have always tried desperately hard to keep hidden and unchallenged.

		Woodcock and Learmont actually toured the prison on the very day the new measures came into force, only to be greeted with a solid prisoners' work-strike, the torching of one of the wings and a range of other acts of resistance.
		In terms of dealing with prison militants, the State has of course sought to isolate and punish them, holding up their ill-treatment as an example to other prisoners tempted to stray from the path of full compliance.
		Because of this the Prison Service is tending to return to it's previous policy of dispersing prison militants to Segregation Units scattered around the prison estate, and moving them at regular intervals ('The Roundabout' or 'Ghost-train').

		F.I.E.S. units are a prison within the prison where the prisoner is kept isolated with no contact whatsoever with the rest of the prison population, even exercise is done in complete solitude, all visits are monitored and the number of letters received is strictly limited.
		Meanwhile, as the mainstream prison population is pacified, in large part with in-cell TV, the hoops that prisoners have to jump through in order to maintain their current âprivilege levelâ are getting steadily smaller and higher.
		Prior to a prisonerâs release, he (for it was always a âheâ in the films) was marched over to meet the governor or a senior screw.

		The one means of communication these prisoners had with their families was a weekly phone call of 7 to 10 minutes at a cost of £1 per minute.
		This resulted in a fracas and the prisoners were put in a strip cell which amounts to the withdrawal of all privileges.

		On the November 21, I drove to Whitemoor Prison to take a visitor to see Barry George who was then five months into a life sentence for the murder of Jill Dando.
		Whitemoor is a "dispersal" prison situated near Marsh just south-west of The Wash; the rich grazing land of The Fens is virtually stripped of livestock and even to a townie like me it felt unnatural.
		The reason I drove Robert Charig to Whitemoor was I had recently handed in a manuscript on the Dando murder to John Blake of Blake Publishing and I wanted Charig to put to George the case I make against him in the book.
